| Turntable Platter Demagnetizing Most likely static electrical charge is responsible for attracting dust particles. If that’s true and I think it is you will probably benefit from an anti static device as opposed to a demagnetizer. Besides, I suspect that most turntable platters ... | |
| SR Fuse Orientation MW Sony 5400 Synergistic Research actually used to claim their SR-20 fuses were not directional since they were subjected to the Telsa treatment in both directions, which supposedly made them non directional. That is according to a Norm Lutweg review in Stereo... | |
| SR Fuse Orientation MW Sony 5400 "I don't know about the SR Black, but the SR Red and SR20 are both directional based on the direction of the printed name on the fuse. So, if the print on the fuse is from left-to-right, that is the preferred direction of current coming in from t... | |
| All I want is The Truth, just gimme some truth... "So at the risk of sounding stupid, I'll go ahead my question: could a passive preamp, or active preamp for that matter, "add" soundstage to a piece of music?"I would opine that the addition of a preamp or any other component or stage of gain or e... | |
| When will there be decent classical music recordings? Mercury Living Presence 35 MM recordings from late 50s early 60s will change the way you think about classical music recording forever. | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? lewm5,047 posts09-16-2016 12:39pmGeoff, I will have to chew on that mouthful for a bit, but can we agree that EMI has the property of "frequency"? Assuming you would agree, then in what way would EMI differ from "low frequency magnetic field(s)"? ... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm wrote,"Geoff, I would have thought that "EMI absorption" is but a more concise term for "low frequency magnetic field absorption".

| Equipment Rack theaudiotweak1,364 posts09-15-2016 5:16pmGeoffThere are waveforms and portions of waveforms that your methods do not account for but they do alter. Your methods directly eliminate portions of these waveforms that are crucial to how a speaker diaph... | |
